* Replicated on Dell Latitude PC running Windows 10; Matlab R2018a (Optimization Toolbox; Statistics & Machine Learning toolbox); Dynare 5.3 (www.dynare.org); Microsoft Excel 365.

* Main text has two figures and one table, which are replicated as follows:

* Figure 1 "Greed Model — Example of a Simulated Path of Violence, Wages and the Value of Prize of Fighting"
	* Produced using /GreedModel/SimGreedModelOnceFinal.m
		* Calls solveGreedSS.m; GreedAR1.mod; GreedSV.mod
		* Output files: Figure1A.pdf (Figure 1, Panel A) and Figure1BC.pdf (Figure 1, Panels B and C)

* Figure 2 - "Estimated Coefficient from Regression of Simulated Conflict Data on Simulated Wages from Greed Model"
	* Produced using ExcelGraphsTables.xlsx from Figure2data.xlsx, which is generated by /GreedModel/SimGreedModelLoopFinal.m
		* SimGreedModelLoopFinal.m Calls solveGreedSS.m; GreedAR1.mod; GreedSV.mod

* Table 1: "Persistence of Selected Commodity Price Shocks Studied in the Literature"
	* Produced by ExcelGraphsTables.xlsx (Excel version)
		* Greed parts generated     by /GreedModel/SimGreedModelLoopFinal.m     which produces /GreedModel/Table1data_Greed.xlsx 
		* Greivance parts generated by /GrievanceModel/SimGrievanceModelLoopFinal.m which produces /GrievanceModel/Table1data_Grievance.xlsx
		* Estimates of persistence are taken from Mendes and Pennings (2022) Appendix Table 12
